<h1>How to Provide Feedback on <a href="/">W3C's Validation Service</a></h1>

<dl>
  <dt><big><strong>If your page doesn't validate, and you don't
  know why</strong></big>, or<br>
  <big><strong>you have a question about HTML or validation</strong></big>

  <dd>

  <p>
    First, check the <strong><a href="http://www.htmlhelp.com/faq/">Web
    authoring frequently asked questions (FAQs)</a></strong> to see if
    your question has been answered there.
  </p>

  <p>
    The two most common problems are:
  </p>

  <ul>
    <li><strong>Validating pages with &amp;'s in <code>URI</code>s</strong>:
    see <a
    href="http://www.htmlhelp.com/tools/validator/problems.html#amp">Ampersands
    (&amp;'s) in URLs</a>
    <li><strong>Validating pages with JavaScript</strong>:
    see <a
    href="http://www.htmlhelp.com/tools/validator/problems.html#script">Writing
    HTML in a SCRIPT Element</a>
  </ul>

  <p>
    If your problem isn't covered by one of the resources above,
    you can send it to one of the following forums:
  </p>

  <ul>
    <li><code><a href="news:comp.infosystems.www.authoring.html">Usenet
    newsgroup: comp.infosystems.www.authoring.html</a></code>
    <li><a href="http://www.hwg.org/">HTML Writers Guild</a> <a
    href="http://www.hwg.org/lists/">mailing lists</a>
  </ul>

  <p>
    Each of these forums have plenty of experienced HTML authors who
    are willing to share their expertise. (If you are commenting on a
    specific page, be sure to provide a URL when you ask your question!)
